UPS Exec Brags About Low Wage Increases for Teamsters

UPS Chief Financial Officer Kurt Kuehn bragged to investors that UPS Teamsters will continue to get “below-inflation increases in wages” under the concessionary contract negotiated by Hoffa and Hall in 2008.
The UPS’s Exec’s comments were featured in a Business Week article called, “Having a Job Ain’t All It’s Cracked Up to Be.”
The article reported that take-home pay, adjusted for inflation, has fallen three times in the last five reported months.  The number of Americans living in poverty is at a 17-year high.
UPS is quoted in the article as being happy with our “modest” wage increases that are “below inflation.”  UPS profits aren’t modest though.  The company has made $3 billion in the first 9 months of the year and now it’s peak!


Rise, Jump, Surge, Climb and Soar v. Modest & Below Inflation.

I wonder how much Scott Davis's package increased over the year, willing to bet that wasn't Modest.
